MEOWR! ANNE HATHAWAY IS NEW CATWOMAN

Warners kicks it up a notch by making ANNE HATHWAY the Plundering Princess of Pussydom opposite CHRISTIAN BALE‘s Batman in Dark Knight Rising, the studio officially announced.

They also said Tom Hardy will play the Bat’s most pumped nemesis – steroid flavored psycho killer Bane,

"I am delighted to be working with Tom again and excited to watch him bring to life our new interpretation of one of Batman’s most formidable enemies," director Christopher Nolan said. The Hollywood Reporter said that Christain Bale had to cut short his National Board of Review fest-ing to catch a flight to LA to screen test with the amazing Hathaway who’s actually named in the release as character Selina Kyle (aka the Catwoman).

Insiders say Anne is the first Cat since JULIE NEWMAR created the role on the classic Batman TV series to give off that uber-slinky brunette feline vibe that make Batfans rabid.
